Random Word Thought: Economy

Written on Dec 04, 2008 // Miscellany.

“Economy” means frugal restrained, which has come to mean “cheap.” Economy class. Economy car. Economy-sized. If you’re “economical,” you’re efficient with your money and focused on reducing expenditures.

So isn’t the phrase “Consumer Economy” a contradiction?
